REMOVING THE BASE
- To install the feet of the TV, lay the TV flat on a table. Afterwards obtain the two display stands that are labeled L for left and R for right. They represent the left side stand and the right side stand(s) when you are facing the back of the TV. Place the stands on to each indentation slot and secure the stands with the included screws on each side.
- Insert and tighten 2 screws from the bottom of each foot.
- To finalize your installation of the Display, please read the following:
- If you are placing the Display on a stand, we recommend you to use a display safety strap (not included) in order to minimize the possibility of the display toppling over. Safety straps are available for purchase online at websites such as amazon.com or walmart.com.
- If you are mounting the Display on the wall
- Make sure the wall is structurally safe for the weight of the Display.
- Make sure the wall mount kit is compatible with the Display.
- Read and follow all instructions provided by the wall mounting kit.
- Securely install all screws and connections.
Rear View Mounting Pattern
Mounting Specification: 200mm x 200mm using 4 screws sized at M6 (not included). Length of screw should not exceed 10mm. Please Note: The 10mm length of screw refers to how deep the screw can go inside the mounting holes. When you are buying screws, you should add the original 10mm to the thickness of your mounting plate in order to get the total screw length.
